Platform Shoes Embedded With Working Gameboys

by AndrewD - on June 2, 2008

Most commonly worn by British girl-power pop stars and Japanese transsexual prostitutes, gigantic platform shoes were once on the path to making their way to the mainstream. Normal platforms were big for awhile, but these absolutely gigantic ones were a little too extreme for modern fashion.

But nothing is too extreme for us geeks! And that is made abundantly clear with these platform shoes that allow you to embed your Nintendo Gameboy right into the extra-tall lift. These platforms provide you built-in storage for your handheld console, so you can whip out a gaming session anytime, without causing bulk in your pocket.

SanDisk Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo

by Edwin - on June 2, 2008



SanDisk has just announced its new Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo that caters for professional photographers and advanced amateurs who want to get serious in their hobby while using Sony’s digital single-lens reflex cameras. This is a collaboration between SanDisk and Sony, being an extension of the existing Memory Stick PRO format that is able to bring unprecedented read and write speeds of 30MB/s for digital cameras and camcorders. Now that’s fast if I ever saw one – make sure you aren’t held back by cheaper point-and-shoot digital cameras where the flash needs to be recharged (this takes quite long). This new line of SanDisk Extreme III cards are also pretty hardy, capable of operating in extreme temperatures ranging from -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty. You can choose from the 4GB card for $89.99 while the 8GB card is priced at $149.99.

The Rail Rider Lets You Cruise The Train Tracks

by AndrewD - on June 2, 2008

You know those cheap damsel-in-distress movies? Where some fair maiden always manages to get the fringe of her dress stuck on a train track, or manages to get tied down to the rails by an evil gangster? But never fear! The hero of the story is always there to provide rescue at just the last second, scoring kudos from the town, not to mention getting the chick.

In real life, the “hero” would almost always be too late to the scene of the crime to do any sort of saving that couldn’t be done with a spatula. If the hero just happens to still live with their parents and not own a car, how are they supposed to get to the tracks on time (especially if their friends are busy). The Rail Rider provides an excellent self-powered method for railroad transportation.

The PNY Attache Lady USB drive

by Ally - on June 1, 2008

Apparently there are still places in the world where the brains of a product matter for less than the looks.  I prefer my gadgets to look nice just as much as any girl and this product is indeed cute.  However, it is a whopping 4GB, which has its uses of course.  You could always have it tossed in your purse for those very random emergency situations.  Beyond that, 4GB just seems like far too little to keep me happy.  I don’t know, maybe you only save one document at a time then erase it, if that’s the case then you might be interested in this little USB drive.

The transparent toaster leaves your toast exposed

by Ally - on June 1, 2008

This transparent toaster is every clean freak’s worst nightmare. Clear glass, messy crumbs pressed against it, I’m not even that dedicated to a spotless home and it makes me cringe a bit to think about. Every time I had friends over I’d be expecting to hear a horrified scream coming from the kitchen as they shockingly stammer “What is it?!!” and then they never come over again. I don’t have an overabundance of friends, I’m a blogger for God’s sake, we don’t always get out much. I can’t have a toaster chasing away friends. Besides, there really isn’t much lower you can go in life than having to admit your toaster scared away your friends.

Solar Keyhole Light

by Edwin - on June 1, 2008

It is bad enough that your porch isn’t lighted up at night, making it hard to open the lock on your door, but things get even worse when you’ve had a wee bit too much to drink, so even finding the right key can be quite the challenge. The Solar Keyhole Light could help alleviate some of your troubles by offering a green way of powering your door area so that you can get in soonest possible during the night.

An energy-saving white LED is powered via an integral solar panel that harnesses the suns rays to recharge the internal battery – great for you and the environment. The solar light stays on for 10 seconds, giving you plenty of time to unlock and open the door before the solar key light automatically switches off to conserve energy.

For folks who like choice, this one comes with a trio of interchangeable covers that provide a greater variety of mix-and-match combinations. The Solar Keyhole Light will retail for £12.
